The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from Kaktovik, Alaska, plan a long-awaited splurge at the Westin St John Resort, with villa rentals booked by the week and a local team ready to answer questions before you commit.
Saving for a trip to the islands for years is its own kind of commitment, and for many travelers from Kaktovik the idea of a stay on St. John has lived quietly in the background for a long time. Kaktovik sits in the far north of Alaska, where the land is open and the winters are long and dark. A warm Caribbean island stands in sharp contrast to that, and that contrast is much of the appeal. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you room to slow down once the planning is finished. Instead of a standard hotel room, you have a private home base with space to spread out, cook a simple meal, and enjoy the quiet. For a splurge you have been dreaming about, that kind of unhurried setting often feels like the real reward.

Planning Your Island Splurge From Kaktovik
- Getting to St. John. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there, a taxi carries you to Red Hook, where you catch the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan your connections with some slack in them, since travel from northern Alaska usually involves more than one leg and a little patience helps.
- Choosing When to Go. Leaving a cold Alaskan winter for the islands can feel especially rewarding, so many travelers from Kaktovik time their trip for the coldest months at home. Think about your own calendar, your budget for the splurge, and how much you want to be outdoors. Our team can talk through the season with you before you book.
- Planning Your Stay. Because villas are rented by the week, a longer stay often suits a once-in-a-lifetime trip well. Consider how you want to spend your days, whether that means lounging by the water, exploring the island, or simply having a kitchen of your own. Share your plans with us and we will help you match them to the right villa.
